[ RadSafe ] Questioning conclusion of zero dose threshold CAN I HAVE A COPY OF YOUR COMMENTS

[Mohan Doss]

Dear Parthasarathy,
       Our argument is that there is too much variability in the data to 
conclude the threshold is zero.   Please see the paper I am sending you 
separately for details.
       Best regards,
                               Mohan
